Prayer 647

All-merciful God, we kneel before You, blessing You ad praising You for
your goodness. We come before You as little children, knowing that we
are home in your embrace. You have blessed us and redeemed us, welcoming
us and accepting us in all our flaws, fears, and foolishness. You sent
your Son to show us that we are all beloved, and to call us to be
disciples. Send your Spirit to inspire us to work with to heal our
hearts and our relationships. Send us to attend the sick, the suffering,
and the sorrowing; send us to proclaim your goodness and blessing into
the world. Look with favor, O Loving One, upon those for whom we pray,
and lift up their needs before You.
